BIRTH CONTROL STUDY
Planned Parenthood of Bryan is participating in
a FDA approved injectable birth control method for

Qualified volunteers will receive medical-related

For more information, and to find out if you qualify,
please call our Bryan clinic at 846-1744.
Participation is voluntary, and research participants will be
compensated for their time.
Listen up, Aggies...
Did you miss the Aggie hoops win over the ‘sips in
Austin? They say the ‘sips started leaving Erwin
Center early ‘cause they couldn’t stand to see the
Ags triumph.
Aggies would never leave the game early—but you
can pull your tickets early for Wednesday night’s
rematch to avoid the lines at Reed Arena. Never
been to a basketball game before? It’s easy-just
take your sports pass and your friends’ passes to the
Reed Arena Box Office or the G. Rollie White
Ticket Office to get your tickets before game time.
If you need a guest ticket, buy it at the same time.
Then don’t miss a minute of watching the Ags
sweep the series.
Loud is loud. And then there’s the LOUD of Reed
Arena full of Ags. Be there for the fun.
Remember Reed’s First Law:
Pull your tickets early to avoid the lines!
